köken: an + genehm, from Old High German nami, ultimately from the same root as nehmen. Compare Sanskrit नमस्ते (namaste, “salutations (to you)”) for similar semantic development from the same Proto-Indo-European root.
köken: From Old Japanese. First cited to the Man'yōshu of circa 759 CE. A surface analysis suggests that this might be derived from 熟れる (ureru, “to ripen, mature”) + しい (shii, “adjective forming suffix”). However, it is unclear how the sense of "feeling mature" would match the sense of "glad".
köken: First attested in the Seokbo sangjeol (釋譜詳節 / 석보상절), 1447, as Middle Korean 깃브다 (Yale: kìs-pù-tá). Originally Middle Korean 기ᇧ다〮 (kìsktá, “to rejoice”) + -브- (-pù-, adjective-deriving suffix), hence literally "rejoiceful; rejoice-worthy", but the original verb is obsolete and the word is now perceived as monomorphemic. 기껍다 (gikkeopda) is from the same etymon.

köken: There are two hypotheses concerning the origin of this word: * A back-formation from the adverb alaikiro (“happily, merrily”), itself from Latin alacer. * From Spanish alhaja (“jewel”), with the final -a being reinterpreted as an article.
